the subs are crap, I can tell because there's no brand name, they're rated in max power, they come housed in a bandpass box, and there are absolutely no usefull specs, the entire description just talks about useless cosmetics. So the subs are out, and the amps aren't much better. The only Lanzar worth mentioning is the Opti series, all the other ones aren't worth the scrap metal they're made out of.

Amp and sub under $250? That won't get you very far, maybe a shiva in a custom ported box on a profile california, but once you add in supplies for the box that'll put you over budget. You really can't get anything quality in that price range, and I don't mean "quality" as in "the best there is", I mean "quality" like "won't kick the bucket after 5 minutes of play".

DO you listen to sh*t for car audio? COME ON MAN. Have you been in any car audio store? that is cheap as crap for one sub... If you don't give a rip about how something sounds loud or quality and just want bass get something cheap...

I looked on ebay at the crap woofers that still get loud... 150 for 2 that only do 300 watts a piece at MOST...

[bigal0043]

okay then so they are 125 shipped for one right?? that dosent include a box right... does anyone have any plans for a box that i could make myself?? also what would be a good amp to run those subs?? thanks for the help guys i dont mean to be so cheap.

[bigal0043]
